In “Closer”, it is described more from a research point of view and in “Delta of Venus” through fictitious stories of how women want to be touched, treated & desired. I would actually suggest reading these books together, since beautiful parallels can be drawn. Looking at the pornography that dominates the market, the majority of which is there for satisfying purely male pleasure, it’s not too much different from the situation Anaïs was in when writing these stories.
Having read “The Venus of Delta” right after “Closer” by Sarah Barmak, it’s still really impressive how even nowadays, so many things are not suited for female pleasure.
Just as it is mentioned in the very beginning, “I had a feeling that Pandora’s box contained the mysteries of woman’s sensuality, so different from man’s and for which man’s language was inadequate.” I’d rather do it myself than read about it 🤷🏻♀️🤭 Nevertheless, it can be said that it is written in such a way that it would be appealing to women. All in a all, I think I’m just generally not really into reading erotica. Finishing up this book, I’ve had a bit of mixed feelings about it.
